This episode is on thought provoking chart topper Billy Field and his classic hit song, Bad Habits.

Billy Field was one of the most popular musicians in Australian in the early 1980’s

Fusing Jazz and Pop, Billy's distinctive husky vocals and piano playing saw him top both the singles and album charts and his songs have been recorded by International superstars such as Mick Fleetwood and David Lee Roth.

While he is best know as the piano thumping and jumping scat man, Billy first came to the attention of music fans as the bass player in schoolboy psychedelic rock band King Fox

King Fox were like the Silverchair of their day – while all the bands members where still at school, they won a Sydney radio competition in 1970.

There’s not many bands that can claim to be an original act, Melbourne band Skyhooks certainly can. No group has looked or sounded like Skyhooks and it’s a formula they took to the very top.
